is it auto or manual?

I want the SS I drove one and they are a fun little car, especially when they are sc'd.

My friend got to drive an austing heeley(spelling) because this older gentlemen was so enthusiastic that a younger person was interesting and was restoring one. This guy had about 260hp in that little bitty car, and my friend said they too corners at 40+mph without a problem. and he asked the guy when to shift because the tach was broken, and he said the guy replied "oh, when the valves start floating" he said the guy was laughing while he said it. I guess it was a classic car club in oklahoma city, and they are gonna give him a bunch of parts for his car. I was over at his house last night and we fixed some of the body panels that rust had gotten to, I love how small it is, it's going to be an awesome little car.

Car Dealers must be desperate.... :D

Congrats on the new wheels...

Enjoy that new car smell as long as you can...

goes with the hair!!
Nice ride Thrax :thumbsup:

My wallet doesn't. ;D

[Buddy J]

It's okay. GM Performance sells crate engines. You can always swap it in later, as funds allow.

[Sledgehammer70]

I bet if we get an image of him with the car behind his head, his hair would blend in....

Congrats on the new car.

[Thrax]

My hair is actually really dark. It's almost brown. I don't know wtf happened.. That crazy "Sun" thing they keep talking about.

[jared]

Slick wheels. :bigggrin:

I bet the MPG is great as well. Easy on the wallet :)

Just make sure and take care of it. I left my vehicle get run down and now it isn't worth squat.

It's an automatic, he doesn't really have a reason for a manual. I didn't know you got it without co-sign, that's good to hear.

manuals get better fuel mileage, and have a better 'feel' in my opinion.

[Thrax]

1mpg better on the cobalt. Not worth the hassle.

[airbornflght]

thats it? usually at least 3-5 must have a pretty good auto in it.

[Buddy J]

Hastle? Hardly. Unless you eat during stop-and-go driving frequently, a stick is an awesome thing. :) Repair costs on manuals also tend to be cheaper, I've found. For winter driving and going up and down hills, a stick can't be beat.

[Thrax]

Two of my meals a day are done stuck in stop-and-go lunch/morning-time rush hour traffic.

[RyderOCZ]

Congrats :D

Feel's good doesn't it? (being a new car owner myself :D )

[leishi85]

damn it thrax, now i want a new car.

In his opinion, they probably don't.

What, are you his press agent now? :nudge: ;)

[jared]

[Black Hawk]

You should paint flames on the sides.

Grats Rob!

Now I want a new car. I'm afraid school loans will come first though...

I want both. Perhaps a pony too.

[mmonnin]

Hehe, I could probably pay off all my school loans by next Friday, less than 6 months out of College...just in time to go back. This time Micron will pay for it though. A 3-series Beamer looks pretty nice. :)

I wish I got that luxury of student loan pay-off.

[mmonnin]

Its called overtime...I am paying my previous loans off. They only pay for classes while an employee.

Sorry, I misread and thought it stated they were paying off your student loans. Still, them paying for classes is a nice perk.

[Black Hawk]

I'm gonna have to wait till early next year to a buy a car. My dad says these months are usually pretty slow and I don't want to be in a cash flow problem because of a car. Maybe the 07 Lancer Ralliart is prettier than 06.
